This approach aims to meet the imperative of La Poste, which is committed to ensuring a postal presence within five kilometers or twenty minutes by car for 90% of the French population. As part of this initiative, these five office trucks will serve forty different municipalities, representing approximately 13,000 inhabitants.
They will offer a full range of postal services as well as those of France Services, including services such as administrative procedures, mobile telephony, and banking services from the Postal Bank. Rather than reopening traditional post offices, this mobile approach would make it possible to effectively reach sparsely populated areas, where the permanent installation of a post office would be unviable, the postal group indicated to our colleagues. The initiative extends over a year of experimentation, with the aim of strengthening the postal presence in five French rural departments (Gers, Haute-Marne, Orne, Creuse, and Jura), offering thus half a day of service each week per municipality. The postal group announced this Thursday that five itinerant postal trucks would roam the rural areas of France.
